SV: AW: [sdiy] Flash Drive with Floppy Interface?

[karl dalen]

Yes, but does it interface to a sampler or a synth with its peculiar OS?
Does the card converter rely on any PC specific drivers?
The product ad says namely: **FlashPath setup disk**..

Here is a neat project! French speaking anyone for a translation?
